New Google Maps Mashups: Golf, Libraries, Maui, NFL

Golfnation.org shows satellite views of holes - GolfNation.org has put up part mashup, part Google Earth hack for the cities of Atlanta, Salinas, and Tampa. When you click on the city (take Atlanta for example) there is a Google Map of all the courses with address info and a link from the info-window to detailed course info. They have then taken Google Earth screenshots of EACH of the holes on what resembles a scorecard layout for the entire course! This is a great use of two Google mapping technologies, presented on the web.

Google Map of Chicago Libraries - Cyris Labs has created a very functional Google Maps mashup for the libraries that can be found in Chicago. You can filter the map by Public Branch Libraries, Public Regional Libraries, Public Main Libraries, Specialized Libraries, Academic Libraries and Religious Libraries. You can also search directly for a library [via]
